What’s that saying – you’re never more than 6 feet away from
a rat!
The day had started with an overnight email from my daughter
working upcountry in a 3rd world Asian country complaining about
rats running over her mosquito net.
So 21 of us set out from Weybridge and tried a new (to me at
any rate) path over Addlestone Moor and that’s where I discovered they have
rats in Chertsey! It ran across in front of me from the cemetery on one side to
the field on the other. I am still wondering what it was about the cemetery
that had caused it to flee!
We continued on, crossing the M25, and shortly after that Robin
punctured. Assisted by Terry, Tim and others it was soon fixed. Pam agreed to
lead them to the The Garibaldi in Knaphill while I continued on to Foxhills,
Flutters Hill, Longcross, Burrowhill, Chobham, Bisley to the pub dragging the
main bunch behind me.
The pub is very small, refurbished and prides itself on
fresh food and I fear we overwhelmed them as it took a long time for everyone
to get served. It was ironic that Vic who was first to arrive was the last to
be served.
So we split again with Pam and Vic going direct to the GC at
Crockford Bridge while the rest of us meandered along the canal taking in the
peaceful Autumn colours.
Clearly time was getting on and everyone except Pam, Vic and
myself decided against tea and went their various ways. We three had a pleasant
time putting the world of cycling and the leading of rides to right.
A good day out with the B’s – we did 25 miles from coffee to
tea.
